SAFETY INFORMATION

• Know your power tool. Read the operator’s manual carefully.
Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as the

specic potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock, re, or serious injury.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects like paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause

burns or a re.

• Do not open the battery. There is risk of a short circuit.

• Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet;
they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible

hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing

accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric

shock, re or serious personal injury.

• Do not place battery tools or their batteries near re or heat.

sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly
dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.

• Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence
of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the

presence of open ame. An exploded battery can propel debris
and chemicals. If exposed, ush with water immediately.

• Do not charge the battery in a damp or wet location. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
